A New Facility – Moving In

John Arrives Again!
John Arrives Again!
OMG, where are we going to put all of this stuff!  Every room is packed with boxes!  Our task master Dave looks at it and then just starts unpacking boxes.  The goal is to get the merchandise up and the boxes out — we can “merchandise” it later after we have some of the bulk out and we can move in the rooms.

Over the past week we have had some special friends arrive to give us a hand.  Dave and Zaide are amazing at just getting started.  Coad jumped right in as did John, Madison and Loretta.  Joe arrived to work on the ice machine to see if he could get it running.  Zac, who helped remove the gridwall from the other store arrived and helped install more here.  Rick and Josh have been on-site a lot helping run cables and wire the first floor and tie in everything into the phone systems and internet service.
Bess came by and helped Eric put his desk together (even running to Bearing for screws since the old ones disappeared into a box somewhere.
Amelia came back from Bali and has been trying to do some merchandising in the midst of mayhem.  We still have a way to go before we are fully back in operation but we are open and serving clients.  Come by and see us, but be aware, Ann may try to recruit you!
